Just so you know the Evo shift actually has the fast processor, its clocked at 800 but its a gen 2 snapdragon, evo has the 1st gen snapdragon. Quadrant score on my evo shift is 1543 vs my cousins evo coming in 1193. Not to mention he has an extended battery in his evo and still can't make it through the day without charging it atleast once mid day. With fairly heavy use I have ended my days still in the 40-50% range on the battery.

Impressive. I am at about 1100 on my Incredible with a few apps open. At 27% battery (have the 2150 extended) after streaming from Pandora all day at work.

I was trying to decide between the evo, evo shift and epic. Right away the epic got marked off, felt very poorly made compared to the shift. I couldn't be happier with the evo shift right now, real keyboard is a huge plus for me. I hate virtual touchscreen BS. I have wanted a nice slider android ever since I ditched my blackberry.

Unless you want a huge screen its really no contest IMO.

Thanks for the info, I think that pretty much seals the deal for me. I'm going to go check it out today, but I've been leaning toward the Shift anyway since I really hate screen keyboards.

I was out today and stopped by the Sprint store to check out the Shift and I like it a lot! The Evo is nice, but personally, I think its too big. I'm sure its great to have such a big display on a phone, but I couldn't imagine carrying it around in my pocket. I played with the Shift a bit and it seemed to have everything I want.
